Valve Adjustment Shims Kit - Not at IPD anymore?

I want to check/adjust my valves on my 1990 B230F(K?) Regina and I remember there used to be a whole kit of shims you could rent from somewhere with a deposit. You used the shims you needed, then put the ones you didn't back into the kit, then you moved on.

Is there some other place to get that now?

Happy Bricking
Will

PS Glad to see the site up!

Do you have the valve compressor tool?

If not your only course may be buy one, determine which shims, if any, you need and then purchase the individual shims which IPD still offers.

Well dang, that's a shame. Adjusting the valves is on my -long- to-do list this year, I was hoping to rent that kit again. (it's been 100k since last rental). Makes that repair a several day episode... Maybe they're trying to sell remaining stock of the compressor tools.
